ingredients

1 medium potato, diced 1/4-inch
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons olive oil
1 cup turkey, cooked & chopped (I like the white meat)
¹⁄₂ cup swiss cheese, grated (or gruyere)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
4 flour tortillas, 6-inch-7-inch
¹⁄₄ cup cranberry sauce

directions

Preheat oven to 500*. Simmer potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water until barely tender (5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a heavy skillet,cook the bacon and onion in 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium heat, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring, until crisp and golden (should take about 5 minutes).
Cool slightly, and stir in turkey, cheese and parsley.
Put 2 tortillas on a baking sheet and brush with some of the remaining olive oil. Turn tortillas over and top each with half the turkey hash, spreading out evenly. Cover with remaining 2 tortillas and brush tops with remaining oil.
Bake in a preheated 500* oven until golden, about 8-10 minutes.
To serve, cut into wedges and top with cranberry sauce.

These are a post-Turkey day staple in our household (I think that my printed out recipe is from 2001, via Food Network with a Gourmet Magazine source). They're a great way to use up leftover turkey in a different way than pot pies and sandwiches. I've substituted sweet potatoes and whole wheat tortillas in the past, too.
